Phasmophobia Weekly Challenge: Survive the Fittest

*Phasmophobia*'s Survival of the Fittest Weekly Challenge is one of the most intense and terrifying experiences you can have in the game. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to navigate and conquer this daunting task.

How To Complete The Survival of the Fittest Challenge in Phasmophobia

Survival of the Fittest is renowned for its difficulty, stripping players of traditional evidence and sanity protection. The challenge requires you to correctly identify the ghost at **42 Edgefield Road**, a house-style map known for its narrow hallways and claustrophobic layout, which complicates tracking and evading the ghost.

Tips & Tricks To Complete Survival of the Fittest in Phasmophobia

Upon arriving at 42 Edgefield Road, you'll face several unique challenges. Traditional evidence-gathering tools like Ghost Writing Books and DOTs Projectors are unavailable, leaving you without Video Cameras for additional angles.

Instead, focus on the ghost's unique behaviors, such as movement speed and ghost model. Utilize the provided tools like the Parabolic Microphone to detect specific ghost sounds, or use Salt to identify a Wraith. Lighting three Firelights in succession might reveal an Onyro. For a detailed guide, refer to our No Evidence ghost behaviors cheat sheet.

You start with virtually no setup time and zero sanity, making you immediately susceptible to ghost hunts. Sanity cannot be restored, even with the provided Sanity Medications. Expect high ghost activity and frequent events, which can help you identify the ghost's behavior. Remember, the ghost's favorite room remains constant, despite its ability to roam.

Most doors will be partially open, complicating ghost location detection. However, the fuse box will be functional and on, and all nine hiding spots at 42 Edgefield Road will be available for safety during hunts.

You'll have access to the Monkey Paw as your Cursed Possession. Using it to "wish for knowledge" can eliminate incorrect evidence and ghost types in your Journal, aiding in your identification efforts. However, this wish comes at a high cost, blinding and deafening you and triggering a Cursed Hunt nearby. This strategy is best suited for groups, where one player can act as a sacrifice.
